Proofreading. The translator often includes too many segments as "do not write" for no particular reason. (I guess he/she must be used to working with other CAT tool.)

Is it possible to change all those segments into standard ones?
Impossible to manually do Alt + Enter with too many segments.

There is a shortcut that does this, but no icon. Check under preferences, shortcuts and search for "do not…". The same shortcut will mark all as "do not write" as well as remove the "do not write" status from all.

Best,
John
